Sun, 18 Mar 2018 00:27:53 GMTI have a MY2015, built 3/14. It is a touring model but has AFS, sunroof, etc. In the options, I see the city brake on/off. If I turn it off, a light comes on indicating that it is off. I do have the cluster around the rear view mirror. Last snow it also warned that the brake wouldn't work u too I cleared the snow off that portion of windshield.

With it on, it doesn't try to stop. I tried it on my other car parked and a wall at the carwash. Was going maybe 8mph.

Since my car appears to have more of the GT features like afs, is it possible that only a portion of the city brake came With that package bit the actual brake actuator isn't installed?

Basically seems like it should be there but doesn't do anything.

Also, I do not see the automatic cruise option either. When cruise is on, works like any car and I don't see the option to specify distance.

Anyone able to tell me what I can look at to be 100% sure it really has it installed? I do t want to go to the dealer saying there is a problem and they come back, umm you don't have it.

I bought this used, so that's why it's not clear.

Thanks

Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:01:49 GMTWill I need a wheel alignment with a 3/4 inch lift spacer in front or 3/4 inch lowering in back of a CX 5? The reason for asking, I want to level the ride. I guess the back is raised up for when the back seat has people in it (which 90% of the time it don't). Then it will level it out at that point. I would like it level without people and prefer lifting in front, instead of lowering the rear.

Would lifting the front 3/4 inch have the same affect on front alignment as having people in the back that would lower it 3/4 inch?

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 21:26:22 GMTHello, all!

I had trouble finding much when searching (maybe doing so poorly?). I am looking for a set of tires of our 2016.5 CX-5 GT (19").

I have looked around and called 2 dealers and the 3 most discussed are:
Yokohama Geo Lander
Michelin Premier LTX
Bridgestone Dueler

I was thinking Michelin until the most recent adviser suggested that it's not great value, and the compound is really soft so gets nails and other damage easily.

Any thoughts from the inter-webs?
thanks so much!!

Installed new General RT43 tires a couple of weeks ago. Really like them. Wanted different wheels. Found sort of a deal on Amazon (free shipping!) on these wheels and went ahead and bought them last weekend. They arrived yesterday and I had them installed today.

Pics should show previous 18" CX-9 OEM wheels, new Motegi 18" wheels and a close up of the new wheel. Please ignore the very dirty CX-5 and the dust on the new wheel from lawn work this afternoon.

The new wheels are almost too glossy for my taste but time will tell. Probably will look better when the car is clean.

Already ordered black lugs. Probably should paint calipers now that they are so visible. What color? Red to match car paint? Best paint to use on calipers?

As I drove home from having them put on, I could tell that something was different with the "feel" of the car. Turns out the new Motegi wheels are each 5 pounds lighter than the CX-9 wheels they replaced. Makes a difference having less weight on each corner. That surprised me.

Next step is to get and install some H&R lowering springs. I think a little drop will complete the look I'm striving for.

What are a few of your favorite three season tires. I care about rain performance but don't care about snow/ice since I use my Nokians in the winter.

Any suggestions? TIA.

Tue, 06 Mar 2018 03:47:24 GMTHello everyone,

The ever popular snow chain search. Has anyone found a successfully fitting pair of snow chains for the 2016 or older (sport or touring models)? Mazda doesn't like to give a recommendation for chains that won't rub on the inside of the tire.

I've searched all over this and other forums and have not found an answer. Any help is appreciated.

There is also a black/machined version available that is in stock.

I think the black one will stand out too much.
